Subject: [PATCH 5/8] rtla/timerlat_top: Fix segmentation fault when failing to enable -t

rtla timerlat top is causing a segmentation fault when running with
the --trace option on a kernel that does not support multiple
instances. For example:

    [root@f34 rtla]# rtla timerlat top -t
    failed to enable the tracer timerlat
    Could not enable osnoiser tracer for tracing
    Failed to enable the trace instance
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This error happens because the exit code of the tools is trying
to destroy the trace instance that failed to be created.

Rearrange the order in which trace instances are destroyed to avoid
this problem.

Fixes: a828cd18bc4a ("rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode")
